Turkey deliberates over response to downing of one of its planes by Syria

BEIRUT — Turkey was weighing its response Saturday to the shooting-down by Syria of one of its planes over the Mediterranean, an incident that sent tensions soaring between two neighbors already at odds over the uprising in Syria.
The deliberations appeared to be focusing in part on the question of whether the Turkish plane was in Syrian airspace when it was hit Friday, as the Syrian government claims. Two pilots are missing, and Turkish and Syrian vessels are still looking for them.
